Real life motherhood with Maddi Wright : 023

Be Your Radiant Self with Kylie Anderson

Maddi Wright is a wife to her hunk hubby, Lloyd, a brekky radio announcer and mumma to two stunner boys. She is a twin; a qualified journalist, she loves the gym and is partial to a glass (read: bottle) of white wine. Over the past 3 years Lloyd and Maddi have been on a TV show (7’s House Rules), gotten married, had two beautiful kids, started a business, moved house, built a house and moved towns. She has stayed sane by being a real; Mum life is tough and as rewarding as her kids are, they’re a hell of a lotta hard work. She struggles, every day, to love being a mum. Maddi LOVES her kids but most days has MANY moments where she loathes being a mum. WHY? put simply, she is exhausted. There are so many of us who have similar experiences and she is blessed to get so many incredible messages everyday from women all over Australia and the world.
